[clug] A "How to" SSH question: copy file (scp/sftp) to remote system, then trigger a handler on remote.

Chris, thanks very much for this.

Did not know about this rsync option.
Will reliably do the sort of thing I need, and across multiple systems.

There are two situations which require difference acquittals of transactions on originator:
 - real-time processing allows a local script to run, and the ‘remove source’ option works.
 - batch or serialised (due to load/performance issues). Needs a queue handler and another
